- Which 3D GTA Island is definitively the best of all time? Today, we rank them based on some objective categories to see if we can answer the question of which GTA Map is the best map of all of them ranked from best to worst... Which island will win? From Liberty City Portland, Staunton and Shoreside Vale... Vice City's Beach or Downtown.. or perhaps San Andreas' Los Santos, San Fierro or the legendary Las Venturas? #gta #gtagames #ranked #evolution

Lets be honest GTA San Andreas map is the biggest achievement in map design ever. With it's limmited tech they created a map that feel more alive, unique, huge in scope (even in much smaller in reality), and just fun to explore, than most other great open world games. Sure GTA IV and V both have incredible maps (well GTA V has amazing locations, and Los Santos is perfect but the overall map shape and how elements are place is actually a huge step down), Mafia 3 and Watch Dogs had great cities, and Ghost Recon Wildlands managed to create huuuge map that doesn't feel like randomly generated, but San Andreas did all that with vastly more primitive tech.
As a bonus i would say when it comes to cities themselfs probably my favourite one from 6th gen was Istambul from Driv3r (the remaining two cities were also great).
And as a side note when it comes to map design in general i also love S.T.A.L.K.E.R, most Ubisoft games (strictly map design), some City Interactive shooters (Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has top tier map, and both Contracts games are also awesome in this regard, even Enemy Front had really good map design), and pretty much every single Hitman game. Ok and every Gothic game XD
For me cyberpunk is the best city map ever. From small narrow streets with neon signs to giant skyscreapers.
@@RedzioMk1 cyberpunk is garbage
Im currently battling a copyright issue with Take2 over a video, so I thought i'd experiment with a new type of video..
Oh my god, what is wrong with take two trying to take down everything
Damn Take2, man....
Medic: Take Two Interactive? More like Take Zero Unactive!
@@Funnyredhouse3453 Good one.
What video are they trying to take down?
i used to be obsessed with vice citys mall everytime i hopped on
The mall is great, the music killed me personally 😂
Mall reminds me of dead rising, the mall and the music, pretty much everything.
@@TrialzGTASthe relaxing music while you blasting pedestrians lmao
"Mind my shopping bags!"
Vice city and LC have a cool vibe to it
BUT SA map even if GTAV map is bigger, SA map remains UNMATCHED 20 years later. 3 major cities, one big state, lots of variety and iconic locations full of details.
This is what gta 6 needs. a map like SA
The fact that you have to put "trigger warning" in your video's title says a lot about today's people and how they feel about opinions.
Me personally, I love each and every map equally and contribute & fit uniquely to their respective games, their atmosphere and the vibe they give off.
I'd say it says more about the poster than anyone else.
its just a joke bro.. hopefully
I'd say it's more about the community than anything else. As would most people seeing the state of modern culture@@Glenn_Danzigs_Cat
Just shows how much I hate today's world. Everyone's just too soft and will quickly get on your ass if you have an opinion that they don't like. Even I fall to this mess sometimes, which I am trying to do better on.
I’d say it’s more of a joke
Excellent video! My favorite island is San Fierro, because I'm a huge fan of the cloudy, gloomy weather, and of course, who can forget the Mount Chiliad? 😍 Las Venturas would be my second best, it's very fun indeed!
San Andreas because its very diverse
The original one
What's my favorite GTA City? Easily Las Venturas.
Underrated city
To say the gta 3 map doesn't "introduce much that feels fresh" ingornes the fact that when it was released most of it was new to the fans. It laid the ground work for other gta games that naturally built upon it. But then I was a kid when it came out so I might be bias
Vice City has that Mall.
San Fiero in San Andreas has that one of a kind Auto Shop where you can modify those special car's.
I will add just one thing. You said that gang tags are unique for Los Santos and you are right, but San Fierro and Las Venturas have its own unique collectables; San Fierro has photoshots and Las Venturas has horseshoe collectables. So San Fierros photoshots are unique because this is only time we saw this tipe of cellectebles.
San Andreas is the king
Finally the chef has done cooking for 2 weeks! A fine wine and dine❤
One of my favorite TH-cam channels❤. I've been replaying GT San Andreas and Vice City recently, and they're absolutely phenomenal games (despite their flaws). I'm lucky because I own digital copies of the original versions, and not that "definitive edition" garbage.
Brings back awesome memories from my childhood!
Kinda disagree with the score on las venturas. I think the casinos are a fun little addition, but I wouldn't really rate them much higher than the car crusher that you mentioned at the beginning. They're a nice little thing and fun for a couple minutes but it wears off quickly and all the casinos are pretty much the same, they just look differently. Like, it doesn't matter if you go into the sphinx one or the castle one, they're still using the exact same mechanics and offer the same gambling options. So, like, to me it feels a bit as if you had like 5 differently themed car crushers all next to each other. Fun and interesting for about 5 minutes and afterwards I'd just drive by without even really paying it any attention. Overall, I'd say my personal favorite is los santos but in terms of score I'd say San Fierro should probably get the highest score because it also introduces the street racing side missions (which in my opinion are way better than the casinos because you're actually doing stuff instead of just putting money on the table and hoping that rnjesus will give you more money back)
thanks for the trigger warning im afraid of cities and maps so this was needed to prepare
If you really think about, the entirety of the Vice City map is basically just one giant racetrack, and I think that's why it's one of the more fun ones to drive around in.
Stopping bots from saying “stopping kids from saying first”
I can't wait to see how many of these iconic places will be featured, and improved upon, in GTA VI.
San andreas yes its small by todays standards but you had multiple cities and things to do and see especially compared to 5
Old maps are gold ❤❤❤❤❤
18:54 You mean Excalibur? (Or whatever it’s called in SA)
Excalilbur hey i stayed there in las venturas A.K.A las vegas
If I where to rank every Gta map. 1st Gta San Andreas, 2nd Gta 5, 3rd Gta 4, 4th Gta Vice city and in last place Gta 3.
I play almost all GTA game but kids from 2004 era to see GTA San Andreas is really really outstanding
Mainland Vice City has less variety?
It has downtown, which varies from Little Haiti and Havana.
Then we got the docks that look different from rest of the city, and then there's the airport, military base.
Compared to the first island which is just beach, hotels and the whole thing is just a fancy place.
I think it's cool that canonacly (not sure if that's a word) the maps aren't actually Islands, that's why gator keys and swamps are mentioned in VCS and VC
GTA San Andreas
GTA 3 Flashbacks : Portland .
Every gang will attack you overtime once you damaged their businesses , bosses.
I love GT3 map and San Fierro the most.
Bro the gta 6 trailer was 9 months ago..
crazy
"Shoreside Gale"
Shitland island and fartland
I actually agree that San Fierro and Las Venturas are overall better islands than Los Santos. I do like Los Santos, but just feel the others offer more overall. Only one I disagreed with was Staunton being last.
Las Venturas every time for SA. Staunton is amazing, it’s so detailed but so is Portland. Vice Beach is so damn iconic in the case of VC.
For me gta vc map is short and sweet, san andreas was like I am an explorer finding new areas and shops
GTA San Andreas' map was my personal favourite, the variety of environments to 3 fairly large cities with different activities to do in all 3, even down to the little towns scattered in between the cities, it was perfect.
GTA 4 AND GTA 5 map rating needed!!
I think the obvious answer here is SA as it's 3 fantastic cities and loads of countryside towns, all in the 1 map. But after that, would be GTA IV. Liberty City, as small as it is, just felt so alive and immersive. Even though there wasn't much to do after completing the story
Vice City feels like home to me. But I probably spent more time in Portland, Liberty City than anywhere else
San Andreas without a doubt
Guys, I think this guy likes Las Venturas.
For every question about map and anviroment the answer is GTA Vice City. Perhaps GTA 6 will be better.

San Andreas. While it has some vast empty areas between the cities, for its time it still holds up very well. Has three major cities. Even ~10 years later, GTA V only had one major city. Imagine GTA V with San Fiero and Las Venturas? Would easily be first. Yes, GTA V looks prettier and is probably larger, but that's the nature of progress. GTA III map is a bit less pretty than Vice City, San Andreas improves upon Vice City, GTA IV is a noticable graphical upgrade over San Andreas, and GTA V improves on IVs visuals. Technology is better. Graphics are better. But San Andreas pushed the envelope farther than any of these other games. It's far more ambitious. To compete, GTA V would have to have all of the state of San Andreas, and GTA VI would have to have all of the Eastern Seaboard.
So many people are cruel to gta 3 its hindsight 20/20 looking back but you have to remember before that it was just 2d and you couldn't really immerserse yourself that much until gta 3.
7:01 Btw it is Vice City Beach Island.
I think gta 3 has the most atmospheric map
Im from las vegas so i have a lot of fun exploring las venturas and there are iconic locations in the city that only locals remember like the baseball stadium and the historical westside (the apartments and neighborhoods west of the strip) easily my favorite GTA city. I dont like how you have to make it 3/4 through the game to get there
Love your videos
GTA 3 overall is the best for me, the map loops and flows so well plus I love the art style
But the problem in Gta 3 is the map is so devoid of life. There is negligible amounts of enterable interiors. No night life and fun activities like vice city or Las Venturas. And also there is just not much to do. Just feels kinda lifeless and boring.
shoreside vale does NOT flow well
@@owenSHOK The map does with all the tunnels and bridges, those tunnels are just so unique
@@Liamzy yes oerall, but shoresidevale is a nightmare to navigate, I guess it was intentional ?
9:58 This is Mainland
What about gta 4 and gta 5???
Next video probably
17:04 IT WAS HEREE!!!
valid opinion your right about the scores
San Andreas because Vegas baby
I'd have to go with Liberty city from gta3 for the fact that the closed tunnels in Shoreside Vale gives the illusion that the world goes on.
what about gta 4?
12:28 Name of music
Hi I'm a big fan I'm subscribed on all three of my accounts
the worst thing in gta sa is that all of houses have the same enterior, exept the rular
San Andreas is the most fun PS2 game with the most fun map. The worst map IMO is GTAIII
Vice city and San Andreas without orange atmosphere feel bland,hey vice city fit with orange atmosphere
I hate Samsung a lot!
Before watching the video i will say its GTA san Andreas and its not even close
Now do a GTA 5 one
Las Venturas is best place
"NO!" try to best that nerds ;P
San Andreas is the best
There all goats🗿🗿
4
all of the origibals are better than gta 5 ls
You serious? I get 3D Los Santos is nostalgic, but they really went all out for HD LS, and as a former Californian from LA, they did a damn good job.
Don't get me wrong, I love 3D Los Santos too, and I can agree, 3D San Andreas is much better than HD San Andreas, with 3 whole cities rather than 2/3 of the map being countryside.
What's my favorite GTA City? Easily Las Venturas.
No
Nah, Gta 3's map is nowhere as good as Gta 5's. People kept complaining there are not much interiors in Gta 5. But Gta 3 has even less interiors. The only ebterable interiors is the gun shops and the car dealership. And then the map design is atrocious. Such as shoreside vale. The map feels dead and lifeless. That is why the map has a "lonely" feel. At least in gta 5 there is way more stuff to do. And way more alive feels with variety of NPC's and animal life. I think maybe only Gta San Andreas map is better than Gta 5 map.
i like the gta 3 map
Gta 3 map has barely anything to do, lol. Gta San Andreas has way more to do. And the map feels way more alive than Gta 3. Just the facts.
GTA: San Andreas-Los Santos is not an island.
For me
GTA VC for interiors
GTA SA for exploration
GTA IV for immersion
i love you
Vice City map is too short, main land is rushed buildings and all are badly designed the beach looks like a toy area, the water is useless as you can't swim Vice City Stories utilized the map better. GTA SA Los Santos and countryside are extremely well developed and fits their themes, skydiving from mount chiliad was amazing. GTA 3 map is dark and gloomy and a great atmosphere for a crime game.
Bro dude, listen here, how much ever u speak about the maps of GTA 3, GTA Vice City and their DLCs, they will still remain crap 💩💩in front of San Andreas and other 3D GTA games maps
Nice take, brother.
